I’m back with ONE MORE home post before we make the big move to N.C. and this post is showcasing our bedroom! It’s the darkest room in the house (strange, because there are two windows) so the photos aren’t the prettiest but I tried my best to make it look good for ya.

Framed art is super high, I know. It was hung based off an old piece I had before my storage console.

First up is our bed. That beautiful headboard is from Pier 1 Imports. I’ve had my eye on headboards like this for a long time but getting a custom one is hella expensive and making my own seemed super tedious (because I didn’t want to have to attach to or lean against my wall). I was so beyond excited when I found this one online and ON SALE! It’s typically always on sale I’ve noticed so if you want it and it’s not right now, give it a few days.

The bed is piled with a bunch of bed pillows and some throw ones. The pink one is an old design from Target and the winky face is one of Urban Outfitters’ signature products. It’s not the highest quality but definitely makes a statement. Under those is my duvet from West Elm. The story behind this duvet is slightly interesting– once I finally agreed with Charlie on letting go of the one I have had in my family for YEARS and really liked– it matched those brownish bed pillows– I found myself shopping around and was at a total loss for what I wanted in a duvet cover aesthetically. I thought to head over to my ‘Bedroom’ Pinterest board and I realized that one of my favorite photos on that board starred a duvet I already had IN MY SHOPPING CART from West Elm. Suddenly everything made sense. and I bought it and I love it.

Hugging the bed are two side tables from Target. These are a steal IMO and the quality is top notch. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a cute side table/night stand/accent table. The lamps are also from Target; I bought the grey lampshade on sale years ago and held onto it through numerous moves without even utilizing it on a base because I fell in love with the soft dove grey color. Unfortunately, I only had one so when the time came for both Charlie and myself to have bedside lamps, I was forced to look for another match. Better yet, I found a similar-yet-different match. Same lamp shade, same reflective gold lining, just in black. Voila! A quirky lamp combo. I threw them on matching brass lamp bases and have been happy with the combo ever since.

Above the bed is a custom piece from RadicalSouls Collective on Etsy. It’s a huge item but brings a level of whimsy to the room that I enjoy. I loved working with Danielle from RadicalSouls because she let me customize to anything my heart desired from the wooden beads on top of the tassels to choosing the right piece of driftwood to mirror the design’s shape that I had envisioned. She NAILED it. Here’s another photo of it from her Instagram account:

This is my side of the bed. This storage console is from Target and I utilize it as a vanity-type station. Atop it are my go-to skincare picks (I posted about them in October. Check it out!), makeup brush carousel and my Simple Human mirror. It’s a hefty buy at $199 but if purchased at Bed, Bath and Beyond you can apply a 20% off coupon on it. It simulates natural daylight– which comes in handy over the winter when I’m getting home from work and it’s almost dark out.

Feel free to shop this post below! I included some items that were in the photos but did not touch on in case you were curious:

In the above swatch, it looks like the product is bleeding (and it is) but it does not bleed on the face and it doesn’t really matter since you blend it out anyway.

Pictures really do say a thousand words, don’t they?

I’ve had this contouring liquid in my ‘loves’ list on the Sephora app for weeks and I finally decided to give it a go during Sephora’s recent 20% off promotional sale. The shade I purchased was ’21-Cool’.

After I dusted off the initial SHOCK of how tiny this bottle is………. it’s like, smaller than my palm……. I was able to demo it out and I concluded that I do really like the stuff. If you’re scared of contouring, this is a great beginner product for you because it blends very, very easily. I personally prefer highly “blendable” cheek products because I don’t have a very precise way of applying face makeup. Anytime an item can blend itself out well and not require too much specific attention, it’s a winner in my book. Additionally, this contour doesn’t look dirty on the face as some cooler-toned contours can appear. The one down side? The $38 price tag.

I’ve been applying this liquid contour/bronzer with either a brush or my Beauty Blender. I do not recommend using your fingers as things can get a bit streaky.

I’ve been wanting to show more of my style choices here sooo I am doing just that with today’s post. My fashion taste is simple but sometimes I feel the need to share those simple things as this wild online world can sometimes be overrun with OTT outfits that I could never imagine actually donning for an entire day.

I picked up this Free People sweater from LuLu’s on Black Friday because I was inspired by the sunny shade in a sweater since I’d be obligated to wear it November-March– the months I’m usually rocking jewel tones and extra hardcore blacks and greys. I paired the sweater with some tassel earrings from BaubleBar in a matching mellow yellow color (similar tagged below).

Heads up if you’re reading this the day I’m posting it or soon thereafter– this sweater is actually 40% off if you buy from Nordstrom (linked below), which is an even better deal than what I got it for on Black Friday! It comes in a variety of delicate shades that you can easily transition from Winter to Spring when the time comes.

Random side story– I have driven past this little gateway well over a hundred times in the two and a half years I have lived in my current city. It’s behind a stretch of townhomes next to the shopping center that holds both my Target and grocery store (aka I’m passing by there a LOT). I always told myself I would get around to shooting either myself or someone else underneath it but have just never gotten around to doing so. Yesterday I was off from work for a day of mourning former President Bush and I figured I’d do it since I’m moving so soon. The owners of the home were totally fine with me setting up behind their house for a few minutes on a random, chilly Wednesday afternoon. I love that.

Let me know below if you pick up the sweater while it’s on sale and tell me which color you got! We can be style (and/or color) twins!

I’m not big on gift guides BUT I have found myself drooooooling over some jewelry lately across a few different sites so I figured I’d throw together a mix of what I’ve seen that’s new and pretty in jewelry land.

1. I have two favorite stones from Kendra Scott. I love her opals and I love her dichroic glass. These studs are the latter– and come in two more colors! They’re fairly large for studs– which I prefer. If you’re gonna buy pricier jewelry that you think is cute for someone, I think they should show them off as much as possible!

2. If you follow me on Instagram then you know about my obsession with South Moon Under’s resin tortoise earrings. I own two of the three shown above and fully intend on buying the third as well. I love the creaminess and contrast of this tortoise pattern and they’re sooo light. It’s like you aren’t even wearing earrings. I sent a picture to my sister after I bought my first pair and she immediately went and bought the same ones. They’re definitely a gifting winner!

3. Another fave of mine from Kendra Scott are her lariats. This one comes in three colors and is a unique addition to a layered necklace look.

4. This necklace looks a bit wild but I think it’s just so cool. The discs look like they’re floating on your neck and the choker length creates an edgy, yet simple vibe. AKA MY VIBE. Edgy, yet simple. Always. This one also comes in silver!

5. On the topic of creamy and contrasted, this sweet bracelet is just that. I’m a sucker for anything black and white and speckled. This bracelet is made of dalmatian stone– which, other than sounding cute, balances the emotions and body. Plus, it’s stretchy. Who doesn’t prefer a stretchy bracelet? This allows it to fit many different sized wrists so it makes a worry-free gift.

6. Next are some statement earrings. They also come in a blush but something about the black and gold screams New Year’s Eve to me and these would be the BEST party earrings for somebody. These also come in blush!

7. Lastly is this delicate letter necklace. You can pick any letter you want for your recipient for your name, their name or anything else your heart desires. I want to pick up the ‘B’ for my first name (and future last name!) The chain balances the off-kilter letter by placing in two small stones up the chain to the left. It’s dainty and understated but will feel extra special with the personalized letter– without having to pay for an actual personalized gift.
